"Excellent! I highly recommend Guardian roofing. They arranged a tear-off crew & a crew to put the new roof on. Both crews worked so hard! Even our neighbors were commenting on how impressed they were with the focus, work ethic & diligence of these crews. The crews were thorough, worked quick, steadily, & everything was completed in a timely manner. We love our new roof! It looks great & has proven to be excellent quality, standing firm during all the wind we get."
"Full time Contractor exceeded our expectations for a roof replacement. It was an easy and straightforward process to define and schedule our new roofing project. Jason Olinger took us through the process and the roofing workers followed up with excellent service. Our project was completed ahead of schedule with meticulous clean up."
"Elias Contruction provided a detailed estimate after inspecting the roof and making some qualified recommendations. The project required a few change orders that were not clarified in writing. I would recommend hiring Elias if you get changes in writing. They cleaned up pretty well although they missed a few things due to finishing in the dark. Overall satisfied with the job and cost was 60% of other bids due to sheathing adjustment."

"I have called numerous companies to give me a bid in repairing a leaking roof on my 40 x 60 pole barn with no success on them getting back to me in a timely manner until I called Empire Roof Coatings. I received a bid on applying a 10 or an 18-year sustainable roof coating and selected the 18-year coating. This company was very punctual on their show times to my residence to complete the job. I couldn't be happier with the end result on my roof. Three years after the roof was completed there was a miner leak that manifested during the winter. I called Empire Roof Coatings to inform them on the issue and they were at my house within a couple of days to fix the leak. When the repair was completed the owner of the company told me that he was not happy with the performance of the coating that was applied to my roof and wanted to schedule a date and time to re-accomplish the job with a better product at no cost to me. I could not be happier with their outstanding customer service and their determination on standing behind the quality of their work! I highly recommend this company for any of your roofing needs. From my experience on doing business with them, it is definitely satisfaction guaranteed! They have re-roofed two other homes I have and they both were flawless jobs!"
"The service was pretty good. They were pretty slow at times since they have to wait for the materials but everything looks good. The roof does not leak and they got the job done within the timeframe."
The proper specifications for furring strips can vary, so you should always consult the roofing manufacturer's guidelines or your roofer. However, general recommendations are as follows:
Thickness: Furring strips are typically 1 to 1-1/2 inches thick, meaning standard 1-by or 2-by lumber works well. In areas with extreme winds, a thinner strip may be preferred to limit how much air can get under the roof and cause uplift. A thicker strip can add slightly more insulation but will also increase installation costs.
Spacing: The recommended spacing for furring strips is between 12 and 24 inches apart on center. Proper spacing is crucial for ensuring good airflow, adequate drainage, noise reduction, and better energy efficiency. The ideal spacing can depend on the roof's pitch and the specific type of metal roofing being installed.
Once framing is complete, you will need the following materials to roof a house:
Wood sheathing
Drip edge, a.k.a metal flashing
Underlayment for waterproofing
Roof covering, like metal or asphalt shingles
Technically, a flat roof can be raised, but it’s extremely expensive, and there would not be much of a point. Most homeowners raise the roof in their homes to access the space between their existing ceiling and the roof, but flat roofs don’t have this space. Therefore, you can raise a flat roof, but it involves heavy structural modification.
Asphalt shingles have varying thicknesses across the length, so failing to stagger shingles from one row to the next will leave you with bulges and bumps if the thicker sections stack on top of each other. Not only is this unappealing, but it increases the risk of water intrusion. Stagger each new row by 6 inches to avoid this issue.
The size of the dumpster will determine how many squares of shingles can fit in a dumpster. You can place between 4 to 20 squares of shingles in most standard containers.
